What is another word for doughboys?
Pronunciation: [dˈə͡ʊbɔ͡ɪz] (IPA) 
Doughboys, a term commonly used to refer to American soldiers, came about during the First World War when they were asked to man the front lines in France. The term is a combination of two words, "dough" and "boy," referring to the dough-like consistency of the soldiers' rations and the young men that made up the majority of the troops.
Some of the synonyms used to describe these soldiers include "grunts," "jarheads," "leathernecks," "soldiers," "troops," and "warriors." Each of these words carries a different connotation, but they all refer to the brave men and women who sacrifice their lives for the freedom and safety of their countries.
Regardless of what they are called, the soldiers who serve their countries and risk their lives deserve our gratitude and respect. They are the backbone of our society and a constant reminder that freedom always comes at a price.
